Are voters only supposed to limit their votes about things candidates say during the election? If so does that mean voting against Trump for Jan 6 insurrection was wrong? Or can voters vote against Harris because of policies she has endorsed before the election?


>If so does that mean voting against Trump for Jan 6 insurrection was wrong?

Well, no, because he campaigned on that. Including pardons for people that participated.


It is reasonable for voters to consider politicians' behavior before the most recent election cycle and ridiculous to say voters should have ignored Harris' earlier statements. (And I say that as someone who voted for Harris.)


Oh, no, I definitely agree with you on that, was just pointing out that specific premise is factually incorrect.
